It's time to re-stain the deck. I just did it two seasons ago with a "six-year gaurentee" big blue box store deck stain. If I was going on year 5 I wouldn't complain but 2 seasons? There has to be a better product out there. So that's the question. What's the longest lasting deck stain?

Probably a semi-transparent stain and the deck is pressure treated. And yes, I waited two years before cleaning and staining. Deck faces south but we have some shade trees and a sun screen. It is just wearing off in places. Looked great on year 1. Not so great on the beginning of year 3.

I'm not too concerned about price. I'll have a lot of time and labor in stripping and cleaning the old stuff off and there are things I'd much rather do then clean and stain a deck so the if something costs twice as much but lasts twice as long then I'm in.

Sikkens? Penofin? Benjamin Moore? Sherwin Williams?

Thanks.
